MlrA from Novosphingobium sp. THN1

Introduction

This part is microcystin enzyme (MlrA) from Novosphingobium sp. THN1.

MlrA is an enzyme that degrades cyanobacterial toxins, especially microcystin-LR (MC-LR).

By comparing the ability of Sphingomonas sp. ACM-3962, Novosphingobium sp. THN1 and other bacteria’s data, we found Novosphingobium sp. THN1 shows a stronger activity. So we characterize it.

To promote enzyme expression, we replaced the commonly used strong promoter J23110 with the stronger J23119 in its family. This part successfully expressed MlrA enzyme and showed activity on degrading MC-LR.
